Well today was an interesting day. We were supposed to be getting our doors and windows fitted today to hopefully get us closer to being water tight. At 9 o'clock the phone rang and it was the project manager; there's a delay with the door manufacturer and they won't be able to deliver until February!! Three weeks lead time had turned into three months! Not the best start to the day... One problem I remember us having initially with the doors was that there was only one place we'd found that made the doors exactly as we wanted... We've got a few options open to us, but we'll have to wait a few days to see in which direction we go...
The day never really got any better. There was part of the build so far which was concerning Mel the steel that had gone in to support the upstairs will wasn't properly supported. The builders tried to reassure me that it was fine, but I wasn't convinced. I decided to give building control a call and they confirmed my worries. Some patching up work well need to be done, but at least it's still accessible and shouldn't be too much trouble to rectify.
At the end of the day however, the project manager came round and alleviated all our worries. The remedial work will be done (to satisfy building Regs this time), and we discussed what to do with the door. Fingers crossed we'll come to something we're happy with!
